The be nice. program was created by the Mental Health Foundation of West Michigan (MHF). be nice. is a mental health education, bully and suicide prevention initiative that creates a positive cultural change through simple daily actions. The program directly educates students, staff, and parents with the tools to recognize a mental health disorder. How you treat someone can have a direct effect on how they think, act, and feel = their mental health. The be nice. education program creates awareness, breaks down stigma and ultimately saves lives. Coopersville Area Public School is proud to be a benice. district. We want all students here at Coopersville to feel welcome, safe and proud of whom they are. Or ... and connected to the greater campus community.
